Lanny Davis, the attorney representing Michael Cohen,
suggested on Wednesday that Cohen had knowledge of a conspiracy
between President Donald Trump and Russia.

During an MSNBC interview, he also said Cohen was
willing to tell the special counsel Robert Mueller about
it.

Davis coupled his comments with the launch of a
fundraiser he said was meant to help Cohen "tell the truth"
about Trump.

Cohen on Tuesday pleaded guilty to committing campaign
finance violations and said he did so at the direction of
Trump.

Lanny Davis, the attorney representing President Donald Trump's
former longtime personal lawyer Michael Cohen, said Wednesday
that Cohen knew of efforts by Trump to conspire with Russia to
corrupt the 2016 presidential election.

Cohen pleaded guilty in federal court on Tuesday to multiple
charges, including campaign finance violations that he said he
committed on the direction of Trump. While discussing the
possible implications for Trump, Davis went on to give some
details about information he said Cohen had that relate to the
special counsel's investigation into Russian election
interference.

Specifically, he said Cohen was willing to provide the special
counsel Robert Mueller with evidence that Trump worked with
Russia to sway the election.

"Michael Cohen knows information that would be of interest to the
special counsel regarding both knowledge about a conspiracy to
corrupt American democracy by the Russians and the failure to
report that knowledge to the FBI," Davis said.

It's unclear whether Mueller's team has approached Cohen for
information in the special counsel's investigation. Shortly after
Cohen pleaded guilty Tuesday without providing information to
federal prosecutors, observers began speculating that he might
try to "flip" against Trump and work with Mueller's team so that
it might recommend leniency in his sentencing. Trump has denied
colluding with Russia to influence the 2016 election.

"Cohen is going to be telling the truth to whoever asks him,"
Davis said on MSNBC.

The FBI raided Cohen's home, hotel room, and office in April,
seizing more than 4 million documents. As a self-described fixer,
Cohen is believed to have helped cover up various undesirable
stories about Trump.
